The Everlasting

A struggling scholar is given a shot at success (full professorship, tenure, a book deal) if he can translate an ancient book about the tragic death of his favorite hero from myth and history; Una Everlasting. Una is disillusioned and ready to give up when she meets a strange man, a mad man, under a yew tree in the woods. The Everlasting is a story of time travel, love, myth, the relentless grind of empire, and the tragedies that fuel it.
